‘Satellite Beach’ will be screened at the 2014 Provincetown Film Festival

.

Founded in 1999, the Provincetown International FilmFestival (PIFF)is one of the country’s preeminent film festivals, presenting diverse programming – the only year-round programming in Provincetown – that reflects the town’s unique place in American history.

Its 5-day festival in June presents a wide array of American and international narrative features, documentaries and short films, and makes a particular point to honor and preserve Provincetown’s rich and diverse history as an arts colony, Portuguese fishing village, and gay and lesbian mecca-while never forgetting the area’s original Native American inhabitants.

Awards season for the Entertainment Industry is one of the most anticipated events and a great honor to watch talented individuals accept recognition for the work that they do. The amount of time, energy, and countless hurdles it takes to create a project from beginning to end is all appreciated through these awards. Oxymoron Entertainment wants to know how you celebrate the award shows with your family/friends.

The award’s “Oscar” nickname is said to have come about after actress Bette Davis remarked that the statue resembled her then husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson.

Vivien Leigh is one of the more famous names to have had her Oscar sold. The award the actress won in 1939 was auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York in 1993 for $563,000. Winners since 1950 have been made to pledge not to sell their statue.

Earlier Academy Awards ceremonies went on for around six hours, but this has now been reduced to around four hours after protests from fans and decreasing audience numbers.
